Bella loves her “daddy” so much she wants to wrestle him to the couch and roll all over him. See: (as always, click on images for larger view.)

And work on the WIP continues apace. Currently at 64,371 and have only 15 of the original 60 outline points yet to write. Looks like I might get Christmas off… maybe. If I continue 3K a day (yipe!) My truck is still at the dealer’s getting new glass and brakes (more yipe!) and I’ve paid my final quarterly taxes for this year (oh, super-yipe!) but at least I’m done. Now to enjoy my work, my hubby, and my dog for the rest of the year with–I hope–no more bad news or unexpected expenses.
